Committed to the preservation and protection of the musical legacy of Prince Rogers Nelson
Let me start by saying that I am opposed to the idea of a Prince hologram; and I am certainly not overly-enthused by the “duet” performed during the Superbowl Halftime Show. And this is not about Justin Timberlake – whom I will neither criticize nor defend here – at all. This weekend we all witnessed
When I was invited to write a tribute regarding my favorite Prince album, my first thought was” Now how in the heck can I do that?” My next thought was, “Well, all of them.” I mean, how on earth do you determine which is your favorite out of all of those great albums? I mean
My absolute favorite Prince album of all time is Sign O’ The Times. It was his ninth record and was released in the United States and France on March 31, 1987, and in the UK on March 30, 1987. It was also his third release on his Paisley Park record label, preceded by Parade and Around
It started many moons ago, the summer of eighth grade, 11 years old, going through life in the hood, I was going through the neighborhood DJ’s crate of music, I stumbled onto what is called Extended or 12” mixes. There was a man in a purple trench coat, red pants, boots, and hair covering one

In a brief conversation the other day, Kim asked me to consider writing a Favorite Prince Album review, no pressure. No pressure? LOL Maybe if this was a simple question like, could you donate your kidney to me? I would have been able to answer more confidently. I said yes, I would do it (What?!)
The Revolution in Madison, WI. Here are some of my impressions from the show [May 12, 2017]. It was indeed a beautiful night! *The spacing on the stage left open the spot in the center where Prince always stood. Reminds me of the missing man formation that the Air Force and Navy pilots display when
So what’s your favourite Prince album? A question often asked and one that’s almost impossible to answer. It’s kind of like asking me to pick a favourite child. Obviously, I couldn’t as I love them equally. Do I love all Prince albums equally? Hmmm… probably not, but do I have a definitive favourite? I’d probably
Well, many people – as far as true Prince fans – 9 out 10 say “Sign of the Times.” And really, it’s always been my fave. But as I now go thru life without our Prince, and go to events now without our Prince there, I reflect on why I’m here. Why am I such
